Being reminded of a fantasy a play partner shared with me.
Heads and bodies stuck through the equivalent of glory holes, with guillotines along the walls.
People spend a shift sucking or getting fucked, with a blade hanging over them reading to cut their heads off or slice them in half.
To me, the most important part of that fantasy in the trigger.
Her idea:
"Maybe it's different for each person? So one could let the customer choose, one could have it set for the end of their shift, maybe they are all timed differently and go off as a cascade. Who knows.
Maybe if one just wanted the fun danger of it, there could be a ledge that slides out last minute to stop the blade or something
Or two seconds before you get off?"
My reply:
"See, for me it's totally a longer thing. I'd want her going in every day, not knowing what the trigger was. Watching people get decapitated every once in a while. Knowing that there's nobody there's who's been around for more than five or so year, but some people only last a few weeks.
I'm sure you'd probably last a couple of years. You're pretty good!"
I think it's incredibly hot that this friend got off on the idea of throwing my life away like that.
And it's even better that the fantasy worked both ways.
I think we eventually settled on "I'll start taking off the safety blocks once I've found your replacement" as the hottest version of this.
Which circles around to the problems I have with a lot of snuff kink, here: https://thicc.horse/@orange/112655866494910578
I feel like, for me, there's two kinds of scenarios here that appeal to me, just logistically so you don't run out of snuff toys.
You've got to slow it down.
1) People can pay to unlock the guillotine.
An owned toy is placed under the guillotine, with their owner setting some price to unlock it.
The owner can set and change the price. The sub may or may not have input on the price or get to know what it is.
The money goes to the owner, the sub sees an indicator light, and the person who paid has however much time to release the blade (or not).
And you know. You tweak the rules until it makes sense.
Maybe the lowest price your owner can set is $5000 and the highest is $100,000.
Ideally, you'd be able to set prices that reflect probabilities so the lowest price still has subs lasting (on average) a month, and the highest price has 90% survival rate after five years.
I think I'm okay with unowned/solo subs, but with a much higher minimum.
I also think it would be very fun to have a cheaper (but still expensive) option that just turned on the indicator light, but didn't unlock the blade.
The indicator light is to cause panic / prevent desensitization.
@orange it's definitely/probably something we should look into as a top for ourselves -- otherwise we're always pushing for more extreme things that, admittedly, are part of why we're so hot, but we're already kinda at the point where
okay we continue to enjoy cozy fluffly gentlefemdom stuff, that's unlikely to change
but for more "serious" sadism-y stuff, we're... potentially on a trajectory to "the ptsd is how you know it's real" not-entirely-joking type stuff
hmm now that I write out loud, ptsd is pretty ragged and awful & not at all a level of disrepair I would enjoy my toys being in long-term, which is heartening to realize
we're currently at "creative and fun symptoms" and tbh that's actually a pretty deep/rich space to play in?
@orange most likely true, yeah
...actually I may have done this? did an emotionally intense "rejection" hypno scene w/ someone who was good for it at the time, but they later did some plural-head-reorganization (completely cannibalizing the member I had played with, in part because it had an unhealthy fixation on me) & the new system order afterwards interpreted it as trauma, which, honestly, that feels a bit outside the realm of my responsibility.
